Metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) has been a prime target for drug discovery due to its heavy involvement in various brain disorders. Recent studies suggested that mGluR1 is associated with chronic pain and can serve as a promising target for the treatment of neuropathic pain. In an effort to develop a novel mGluR1 antagonist, we designed and synthesized a library of compounds with tetrahydrothieno[2
代谢型谷氨酸受体1(mGluR1)由于其广泛参与各种脑部疾病而已成为药物发现的主要靶标。最近的研究表明,mGluR1与慢性疼痛有关,可以作为治疗神经性疼痛的有希望的靶标。为了开发新型的mGluR1拮抗剂,我们设计并合成了具有四氢噻吩并[2,3- c ]吡啶骨架的化合物库。在这些化合物中,化合物9b和10b在体外显示出出色的拮抗活性,并在动物疼痛模型中表现出抑制疼痛的活性。两种化合物都具有口服活性,而化合物9b在大鼠中表现出有利的药代动力学特征。我们相信,这些化合物可以提供有前途的铅化合物,适用于潜在的神经性疼痛治疗。
